Overstaying is like sticking into quicksand
Without any signs of fighting back.
Sinking into an inferno of insanity,
Thinking of different results
Over showering multiple chances.
Forcing for acceptance
Is torture to self.
Knowing that you aren’t wanted
Yet beg to be let in
Is like the fate of Loki,
Mythology in realistic depiction
Of insanity that us humans treat our
Own selves with scrutiny!
Red flags
Ignored.
Even when the signs were transparent
Like the elephant screaming in the room.
Stages of denial act in annual seasons.
From singing affirmations of worth like
Reciting mantras,
Back to frustration after failed attempts
Of bargaining.
Like a mother bear awaiting for the cubs
To outgrow breast milk,
To venture out on their own
As grown…
Knowing when someone has overstayed
Their position, needs to outlive
And surpass for their own growth.
Respect each purpose and timing.
Not everything is built to last forever.
Like leaves that will surf on
Autumn winds,
Self-love and respect shall migrate
To greener pastures.
No drought shall cause the feet to sink
Into the tar pits that we have created.
